    Crab guacamole
    Andrew M.

    First meal great meal. Greeted by a very confident and competent server put us at ease right away, taking any order of bowl cream of crab vs a cup of crab so smoothly really sets a tone. Appetizers and soups came fast and were delicious, though I did greatly prefer the cream of crab. The crab guacamole surprised us with the generous serving. The crab on top did add more to the flavor profile than expected. The entrees took long enough for us to enjoy the sunset. The view from the lower floor was good, charming, and very comfortable. The vibe was family friendly outdoor. The live music was playing all the greatest hits at an unobtrusive volume. Crab cake sandwich satisfied. It was cooked well and the texture of the crunch with the bread and tomatoe all blended perfectly. I added some the 'slaw to mine and thought the tang blended well. The lemon fish entree was a little on the mild side but had no complaints, might try something else next time. Dessert was rice pudding and coconut cream pie. Get the pie! It was super flavorful and light, really complimented the summer outdoor vibes. The rice pudding was good, cinnamon on the rim was a nice touch but maybe it's the scarcity of the pie that makes it more coveted. Great meal, will be back!

    Fish Whistle Lemon Butter

    We liked this restaurant very much. We started out with the crab dip which was delicious!!! My husband had the Fish Whistle Lemon Butter (halibut) and I had the smoked salmon on rye bread. Both were great! The salmon is smoked on the premises and is wonderful! For dessert we had the regular and pistachio cheese cake which was creamy and delicious . The service was great and the view was very nice. We will return back.

    Bailey enjoying the live music, good company and great service.

    Very nice welcome and excellent service. Excellent selection of yummy luncheon cocktails, small plates and much more!! Krysten provided a phenomenal dining experience.

    Blueberry mojito
    Kerri C.

    This was a solid lunch spot on the water. We got the crab cakes, bourbon bbq ribs, jerk chicken skewers, blueberry mojitos, and for dessert the chocolate sugar cookie with mint chocolate chip ice cream. The crab cakes were delicious and the bourbon bbq ribs were solid. We'd pass on the jerk chicken skewers, they were kind of dry and small, and tasted of only oregano. The blueberry mojitos were awesome, as was the dessert! The chocolate sugar cookie was fat, and super soft and I'll be dreaming of it until I have it again. The ice cream was good too!

    Peanut Butter Pie

    Service- Out of this world. Jennifer was great. Food. Amazing. Been coming to the Granery for many years, (25+) during hunting seasons. This was the best meal I can remember. Oyster Sampler was incredible. Hush Puppies, scallops wrapped in bacon, onion soup, & wedge salad, for appetizers cooked & delivered perfectly. Prime Rib, pasta scallops & shrimp for dinners, omg. Delish. We will Def drive 2.5 hours & get a hotel for dinner again here!!!!!! Thanks for knocking it out of the park!

    Used to eat at the old Granary all the time. Was just ok now. Everything kind of mediocre. Hope they get things back up to snuff.

    The Retriever Oyster House in Chestertown left us with a mixed impression, one that deserves a fair…read moreand constructive take. We had just come from a college football game and, on the fly, decided to grab dinner here based on the recommendation of the one local in our group. There were seven of us, and most went for the double smash burgers with fries, which were excellent. Kim, our server, was outstanding, prompt, accurate, and attentive throughout the evening. The bartender also added to the positive side of the experience, making sure everything at the table ran smoothly. The issue came at the door. We had tried to call ahead to let them know we were on the way, not realizing that OpenTable was their preferred system. When we arrived, the host made this clear, but in a way that was unnecessarily sharp and cold. It set the wrong tone for the night. In a town where friendliness is the norm, the contrast was striking. The experience began under a haze that was difficult to shake, even though the food and drinks were excellent once we sat down. To be constructive, this is less about policy and more about hospitality. A host sets the tone, and a welcoming explanation could have changed everything. Something as simple as, "We usually use OpenTable to handle groups this size, but I'm glad you're here, let's get you taken care of," would have gone a long way. Instead of frustration, it could have created a positive first impression and likely earned a loyal group of returning guests for years to come. Inside, the atmosphere was lively, with locals enjoying themselves in a loud and fun environment. Our group of longtime friends who have been convening in Chestertown for two decades fit right in once we were seated. However, the bad first impression lingered, and as a result we only had one round with food before deciding to leave a lot earlier than our normal rhythm for an evening out. We ended up taking our bar bill to another venue. Great food and excellent table service carried the night, but the host made sure we will not be returning as part of our annual tradition. This is a restaurant with strong potential, and it could go from good to exceptional with just a little more attention to how guests are greeted.

    This was a fun place. We came visiting friends while in town for the Tea Party weekend, so they get…read morea little pass for being busy. I'm not sure the menu was all that imaginative, but the food was good and we enjoyed some oysters, onion dip, and I had the chicken sandwich. Our waiter was very attentive. The only thing I may add is to think about better flexibility on seating. It's a very large bar but the sit down area isn't greatly configurable. We'd put in for a group of 6 but it was not possible for them to seat us all at one table.
